Sustainable Supply of Wood for Musical Instruments
Stanko Trifković · International Journal of Sustainable Future for Human Security · 2016
Wood traditionally used for soundboards of acoustic musical instruments such as violins or pianos is an exceptionally rare natural resource.Sustainability of its supply is not only faced with risks associated with long periods of growth but also with illegal logging and uncertainties linked with a change in the climate.Although the challenge to sustain supplies of resonance wood is certainly very high, sustainable supply of certain amounts of legally certified resonance wood is feasible.We will certainly lose a significant element of culture if we don't give a try to manage at least a few forest stands for the main purpose of producing this resonance wood.
